    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    A band of linked diamonds with central double-heart motifs and borders of small linked diamonds; a truncated diamond-shaped motif composed of double diamonds and ?fishes. In addition there is a single stylized plant with a three-petalled flower.

    The straight stitches are arranged in chevron shapes and geometric (Florentine) pattern. The fragment may be the shoulder band and beginning of the sleeve of a garment. A line of long-armed cross stitch in red covers a run-and-fell seam, and the curved neckline is whipped with red and yellow silk.
